Webber was booked on two felony counts and one misdemeanor count of furnishing alcohol to a minor. Felony counts are for providing hard liquor or high-point beer. The misdemeanor is for providing 3.2 beer.

Lt. Webber has been on unpaid leave from the Sallisaw Police Department.

According to a police report filed with the sheriff's department, an 18-year-old woman told investigators she was having sex with a Sallisaw police officer for six months in 2012 and the officer had given her beer and alcohol on several occasions.

The report also said the two had sex at a mobile home outside the city limits while the officer was on duty.

According to the report, investigators used motel receipts and more than 600 Facebook messages between the officer and the woman to corroborate her story.

Residents were shocked when they learned about the allegations.

"It's sad. It's sad that these things happen," said one resident.

"She's not of age to drink alcohol. He's buying her alcohol and she's only 18," said another resident.

"Anybody off the street that does anything wrong, they're on you, so I don't think they should give any special treatment just because he's a police officer," said another resident.

Once the investigation is complete, it will be turned over to the district attorney, who will decide whether to file charges.

Officials said it's a felony in Oklahoma to provide anyone under the age of 21 with liquor, while it's a misdemeanor to supply someone not of legal age with beer.
